It's very important that you never depend on money to fulfill your creative vision. If you do that, you're doomed to fail.

I've never tried to work chronologically. I don't think I have the discipline to do that.

Pop music is a fashion, and fashions come and go. The public retires you as their tastes change.

I don't want to be typecast as the 'ambient guy' or someone who only does electronic scores. I think most of the work that comes my way is because people feel they know me musically.

I'm not in a position in my career where I turn things down. I'm very easy. So the projects often dictate the direction you will go in. I welcome things that challenge me.

I guess I'd like to have my cake and eat it, too. I want to be known for having a recognizable style. I believe having your own personal identity is what makes you competitive. On the other hand, I would like to be versatile and be challenged to go in new directions.

I work at home but average 15,000 to 18,000 miles per year on my Honda.
